The program is divided into a French portion, which consists of 7.5 full-course equivalents plus an additional 7.5 full-course equivalents chosen to fulfill the Faculty of Arts Graduation Requirements, and an Education portion, which consists of 10 full-course equivalents. In Year 5 of the Concurrent Degree program, a required interdisciplinary project course in French will amalgamate the students' academic experience in French and Education.
At the time of admission, a joint committee in French and Education may stipulate special requirements related to linguistic proficiency for entering students. Students' progress throughout the program will be monitored by the joint committee. In order to continue into year 4, students must have completed the 15 full-course equivalents required for the initial French/Arts portion of the program (see below) with a minimum GPA of 3.00 over the last ten half courses taken.
